2023 Annual Juried Student Exhibition
2023-03-20 08:00 - 2023-03-24 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY ART DEPARTMENT’S 2023 ANNUAL JURIED STUDENT EXHIBITION
The Annual Juried Student Exhibition allows the department to highlight the work our students have produced in the past year and affords students an opportunity to gain professional experience by preparing work for exhibitions and submitting it to a jury process. Students submitting work are also eligible to win monetary awards in a variety of categories. The awards are made possible through the generous support of art patrons from the Cleveland community.
This year’s juror is Greely Myatt, a professor of sculpture at the University of Memphis and a DSU alumnus. He has exhibited widely across the United States, Europe and Japan. In 1994 he was awarded the Mississippi Arts and Letters Visual Arts Award. In 2009, a twenty-year retrospective of his works was exhibited across Memphis in nine museum and gallery venues.
As every year, we will also feature Salon des Refusés in the Holcomb-Norwood Annex which will display a student-curated collection of the artwork that did not make it into the main event.
Please join us in celebrating our students’ success on Thursday, March 9, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Awards will be presented at 6:00 p.m. The Annual Juried Student Exhibition will remain on view from March 9 to April 20. The gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks.
